Please keep quiet, if you don’t know the situation.

I’m curious about something: Are section styles attached to section tools or independent? Sorry for asking but I just don’t have enough available time to try out R8 yet.

Hi. Keithscadservices. Thanks for your advice. Hope see you at the VisualARQ Forum. Looks like VA3 WIP is coming soon.

Hi Keith - [image] Keithscadservices: Are section styles attached to section tools or independent? I’m afraid that question is a bit general and leaves me guessing what you actually mean. When a section style is assigned to an object or layer, the drawings reflect that style. If not, that’s …

It would be fantastic if the layer & sublayer can be set on the “3d object layer”…
